Yes. That was my last comment.
Moving on to some of the other major policy levers that the federal government has in its hands, there's the training side of the equation. We're very pleased with the EI hiring credit. We think it's a very good means of doing that.
One of the things that was most helpful to our members during the recession was the EI premium freeze, but we've made a number of other suggestions as to what the federal government can do to try to address skills and labour shortages. It's not an easy challenge. The main policies on labour, such as the temporary foreign worker program, the skilled immigrant program, employment insurance, and training tax credits of some nature, are some of the things that our members say will help them address the problem.
But it is an issue that is great and gripping for our members right now. It is being experienced across Canada. For small and medium-sized firms, it is the trades and the semi-skilled and often the entry-level positions that are most needed.
I'm happy to take any questions after this.
